Trapping, trapping and more trapping.
I live in SE TN but hunt mostly in SW GA. Lots of yotes and hogs that mess with deer.
GON (Georgia Outdoor News) has focussed a lot lately on coyotes. They report from "both sides" of the controversy. One side says that no matter what you do, you can't affect the numbers. The other says that you can reduce their numbers, significantly. The general consensus seems to be that you can have a significant reduction in coyotes with hunting and trapping but trapping is key. It's not easy to do well and professional trappers are good at what they do. Relative to the expense of owning a large hunting property, they really aren't that expensive.
I've read a lot about it and talked to guys that have seen success, but real success can only be achieved through a professional trapping program.
I hear coyotes sound off most evenings in GA when I hunt and does/fawn number seem to be down :-(
In Hamilton county, TN this fall I shot a doe, watched her fall 100 yards away. Got to her less than 2 hours after shooting. (shot at 8:00 am). When I got to her a couple pounds of meat had been neatly removed from her shoulder. They used the tear from my broad head to start their fiest. I suspect only one coyote or she would have been really torn up.
